A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

'Something like that,' Bastian's reply is short, 'Have you seen the others?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'No. Shaundakul led me to you. Or the other way. I felt the wind on my back and followed it. If the two of us focus on the others, I think it'll work. Take my hand.'

Alyssa holds out her stump with a sardonic grin.

[Anastasia]

Bastian's eyebrows go up, 'Shaundakul's boots and Selune's shoes, you're smiling over that?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Would crying help? I'll just regenerate it later. It's inconvenient, but it doesn't hinder my spells. I'd rather save the spell in case one of the others needs it more.'

[Anastasia]

'I've seen seasoned warriors break over losing an arm,' Bastian's expression hardens, And you smile over it?' Cracking his knuckles, 'What Sharran doppelganger are you?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'I smile because I have magic that'll restore it. It hurt more than anything else when it happened. Damn flying cleaver. If I didn't have that spell... Do you have any idea how hard it would be to make notations for spell formula with only one hand? I'd have to refine my telekinesis control for it.'

[Anastasia]

Well, you at least earned a Diplomacy check, but with a -10 penalty. Go.

[Iron Dragoon]

Really? I took that as him joking around. Alrighty. I'll just cheat then!

You get a long, long, looooong gaze. Bastian finally grunts, 'That's not normal,' he finally sends back.

[Iron Dragoon]

'I didn't say it was. I just meant that it's logical. I can grow it back at my leisure with a single spell. That knowledge is keeping the panic and horror at bay, creeping around the edges. I can use it now and deprive myself of being able to help one of the others, possibly, when it doesn't really stop me from being effective, or make the smarter choice.

In either case, we need to find the others before I use the spell. Let's get to work. I don't know how you do it, but I always focus on my wanderlust, letting it build until it nearly bursts and then just start moving.'

[Anastasia]

'Just move,' Bastian says, 'Isn't it obvious?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'To each their own. Here, let's start.'

Alyssa rests her good hand on his shoulder and focuses on her wanderlust and the others.

[Anastasia]

Charisma again, +4 bonus.

You feel something building, sparking more. Bastian looks at you. 'Just do it. You've moved all your life. Walk.'
